Poll: Chambliss leads Martin by two points
The polling agency says the margin is “the closest the race has been all year.”
Rasmussen reports U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ lead Democratic nominee Jim Martin by just two points.
From the polling organization:
The U.S. Senate race in Georgia has grown a whole lot closer over the past two weeks. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds GOP incumbent Saxby Chambliss leading Democratic challenger Jim Martin by just 47% to 45%.
This is the closest the race has been all year and the highest level of support for Martin, whose campaign has spent roughly half-a-million dollars on attack ads against Chambliss over the past month. Just two weeks ago, Chambliss held a six-point lead.
Libertarian Party candidate Allen Buckley earns one percent (1%) of the vote in the latest poll.
